Hand Maiden Casbah Yarn Reviews

Luxurious, cashmere blend sock yarn hand-dyed in Canada, each hank is one of a kind! This machine washable sock yarn is made with superwash merino, a bit of nylon, and a bit of cashmere for pure luxury. Each hank is about 357 yards, so 1 hank is enough for a pair of women's medium socks...

I was able to knit up a large pair of woman's sock (shoe size 10) for myself with one skein of the "Cezanne" variegated colorway. As a child I found wool very scratchy to wear next to my skin so as an adult I chose extra fine merino wool to knit with. I decided to be a bit adventurous and try a little cashmere. This yarn really surprised me. I wear these socks to bed at night to keep my feet warm in the winter. Absolutely beautiful! Awesome fiber! :)
